Michael Moore, the “documentarian,” is doing a movie on the the American health care system called Sicko. By way of leading to the conclusion he always aimed for in his movie, he took people sickened by attack on America on 9/11 to Cuba for health care. Problem: he didn’t get permission. It’s still against the law for Americans to travel there without government permission.
Now, as expected, Moore is lambasting the Bush administration ordering the President to lay off an investigation into Moore’s lawbreaking. Moore, of course, is going after ‘the man’ in a transparent effort to gin up opening day numbers for his movie. A good political fight with the Bush administration will be a sure way to get it. I’m sure the Bush administration ‘went after’ Moore for political reasons…oh wait…
President Bush, you’ve got nothing to lose, go after Moore telling him he will receive no special treatment just because he’s famous. Also tell him if he feels so free to go to Cuba that he should stay there. Have fun in your 10 x 10 flat, driving your ’51 russian made car. Buh, bye.
